Once covered in over 200 tattoos, Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble is removing his facial ink for the sake of his young daughter. His before-and-after journey will shock you.
Ethan “ModBoy” Bramble became famous for his extreme body modifications — more than 200 tattoos, stretched ears, a split tongue, even tattooed eyeballs. Starting at just 11 years old, he transformed his appearance in ways most people could never imagine, spending over $60,000 AUD along the way.
But becoming a father changed everything.
A Father’s Wake-Up Call
Now a proud dad, Ethan admits he regrets some of his more extreme choices, especially his face tattoos. He says they’ve made daily life harder — from facing stares at the grocery store to worrying about taking his daughter to school without judgment.
“I just want to be the kind of dad she’s proud of,” Ethan shared.
For the past year, he’s endured painful laser removal sessions to fade the tattoos. His goal? To “clear the canvas” within two years.
A Past Full of Risks and Rebellion
Ethan’s journey hasn’t been without trouble. Recently, Victoria Police issued a warrant for his arrest after he missed a court date. He’s spoken openly — and sometimes jokingly — about possibly moving to New South Wales to avoid legal issues.
A New Image for a New Life
Despite his rebellious past, Ethan says he’s determined to change for the better. His biggest hope? That his daughter will wait until adulthood before making permanent decisions like tattoos or body modifications.
“I don’t want her to go down the same path I did,” he said.
With each laser session, Ethan is not just erasing ink — he’s rewriting his story.
